For this month's podcast I interview blackjack and poker expert Arnold Snyder about how a player can learn to become a professional player at those two casino games.

We also have more details on our upcoming "meet & greet" event in Las Vegas on March 9. It should be a lot of fun and we look forward to meeting you there.
 
O
ur "Casino Profile" feature takes a look at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, plus we have two new gambling articles.
 
The first, by video poker author, Linda Boyd, gives  tips for going on a casino coupon run to take advantage of some good coupon offers. The other article, by syndicated gaming writer, John Grochowski, discusses how a gambler's playing style can increase or lessen the volatility in any casino game. 
 
Don't forget that as a subscriber to our newsletter you are eligible to enter a private poker tournament each month with over $1,200 in prize money. It's absolutely FREE with no money required to enter. Look in the column on the left side for more info.

Casino Coupon Runs
By Linda Boyd
 

There's been lots of grumbling lately about the downgrading of both video poker and table games. The fact that most good plays have evaporated can't be denied, even for talented players in games requiring skill.

 

You can grab some of the expected return (ER) back by making the most of casino coupons and promotional offers. In fact, the term, "coupon run," has entered the lexicon of advantage players and it refers to the speedy redemption of the most valuable coupons by rushing from casino-to-casino.

 
Volatility in Casino Games
by John Grochowski

When we talk "volatility" in casino games, we're often talking about electronic games. Reel-spinning slot machines concentrate more of their returns in fewer big wins than video slot machines, which bring more frequent small wins. The reel-spinners are more volatile.

Same deal in video poker. House edges are similar on 9-6 Jacks or Better (99.5 percent) and 9-5 Super Double Bonus Poker (99.7), but Super Double Bonus is much more volatile.
